The theme of the night was ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’. But not everyone was looking at the same glass as the red carpet on the Met Gala rolled up yesterday.
Sarah Jessica Parker surely knows how to wayang. How else can she get through the night with a smile on her face in that look?
Janelle Monae told Vogue she was going for a yin and yang look. What she didn’t say was she’s a big fan of the Street Fighters.
The operative here being ‘club’. The look for these girls – (from left) Dakota Johnson in Chanel, and Grimes and Miranda Kerr in Louis Vuitton – is all about that short, shiny and party dress.
Just ask Alicia Vikander in her Barbarella-esque Vuitton number.
Lily Collins and Vanessa Hudgens obviously were not with the programme.
Lots of it apparently. Just look to Rose Byrne (she’s in a Calvin Klein hand-cut leather dress), Beyonce (in that Givenchy look), Kendall Jenner (a slinky Calvin Klein column gown), and Elizabeth Banks in her Michael Kors look.
Amanda Seyfried is all Gothic for her makeup, but ethereal at the bottom with her Givenchy frock. Talk about yin and yang.
Model Candice Swanepoel showed off her best assets in this lacey confection by Michael Kors.
Sun Fei Fei channelled Shanghai vixen in Michael Kors.
This isn’t exactly Chinois, but Gao Yuan Yuan gets an ‘A’ for looking dreamy in Michael Kors.
Ditto for Liu Wen, who was dressed in Michael Kors.
Maggie Q channelled high-end Mulan in this Tory Burch pants suit (and totally kicks butt in it).
